There are a lot of ways to do this. When are you wanting to do it? before login? After login? After the desktop appears?

Here are some links to check out:

Here's one describing exactly what happens at login:

Also, you can drop a Shortcut of the program into the StartUp folder in the Start menu. If you put it in the All Users' Start Menu, it will be there when everyone logs on.
